TRANSPORT MINISTER SAYS
Americans ‘too busy’

for auto talks

OTTAWA (UPC)—There
is no point pressing for
changes in the Canada-US.
auto pact as long as
American auto sales are in a
slump and Jimmy Carter is
preoccupied with a
presidential election, In-
dustry Minister Herb Gray
said.

But New Democratic
Party finance critic Bob Rae
shot back in the House of
Commons Wednesday that
Americans will never want
to change the autopact
because it gives them all the
advantages.

Gray said Canadian of-
ficials had ‘very forcefully
laid their positions on the
table’ during talks with U.S.
special trade representative
Reuben Askew last Friday,
but no proposals had beea
made to overhaul the pact.

‘This was the first of a
series of meetings to set
forward our concerns and to
get initial American

responses,” Gray told the
House of Commons after
Rae accused him of political
bluster and inaction.

‘It is very important not to
press for final decisions until
the climate is right and to
have the decisions we want
from the Canadian point of
view," Gray said.

Prime Minister Pierre
Trudeau during the winter
election labeled the auto
agreement ‘unfair’ to
Canadian workers, and he
promised efforts to win a
better deal.

Gray told the Commons
the total economic climate
had to be kept in mind in
assessing what to expect
from the auto talks.

“You have to consider the
weak state of the North
America auto industry, the
weak state of the U.S.
economy, aad the fact their
election campaign is en-
tering the home stage,’ he
said.

Gray said it was important
to start up a ‘series of
consultations’ and press for
changes later, but that
remark drew derision from
Rae, who said the United
States would oppose almost
all changes to the autopact
whatever the climate.

‘Even if the U.S. economy
was in good shape, there still
would be a structural im-
balance in our trade,’ Rae
said.

“We assemble cars which
are toobig. We don’t do any
research and developmént,
we don't do any engineering

design, we don't make any

small cars, and we are way
behind in parts.

‘Those problems would
still be there even if the auto
trade was going. strong.
There never is going to be a
good time to raise that
because they've got the best
of the deal and they are not
likely to change it,’ Rae said.
